Need BOV Recommendation
I love the greddy myself,, works perfect in the evo. IMHO ,, We had an MR at the shop the other day and it had the same bov as the 03's and 04's, i thought it was supposed to be metal, any insight on this ?

Turbosmart Dual Port. The spring tension is fully adjustable by hand, no tools or shims are needed. It drops right it, no adapters are needed. It has a really nice rushig air sound, not the annoying whistle sound. 38mm inlet and outlet. Best thing is, it work. No codes, no lumpy idle, no stalling, no surging. It really is the best BOV I have found.
I have the Works/GFB Stealth Bov...no bogging or stalling. Everything is pre-set to Works reccomendations, so you shouldn't have any problems after installation. And not to mention it sounds great. But, I agree, it is a little on the pricey side, about $320.00.

If you are running anything more than 16psi (stock, don't kid yourself, stock is NOT 19 psi), then any OEM BOV will not work. GReddy is the only BOV that I have seen to hold more than 20psi...but I didn't look past that one. Do a serarch on Options Auto Salon, or any manufacturer's website for specs...
Aps B.O.V.
I would go with the aps dual vent!!! I have it and its awesome. Installs in 5mins. No adjusting needed, complete plug and play. Quality is top notch, holds all the boost. I never stalled or had any problems with this bov. I hope this helps. Good luck!!!
My .02 cents. Either a blitz.....although I have seen my friend personnaly destroy his blitz....couldn't hold the boost past 25psi. It ripped itself apart internally.
SOme people don't like it but I love it and that is the HKS SSQV. Just do a recirc on it and you shouldn't have any problems with stalling.....the downside for you is that it doesn't sound like stock......but it sounds awesome with 22psi going through it. It flutters when shifting at 3000 rpm, but when you step on it and shift at 5, 6 and 7000 rpms....it sounds mean.
Just my opinion
